3-star oriental sails cruise

The Oriental Cruise was built in 2007 in the style of an ancient Vietnamese sail boat. Oriental Sails in Ha Long Bay features 16 deluxe cabins of traditional style combined with modern facilities and comfort. This is the ideal way to enjoy your time in the remarkable setting of Halong Bay.

You will be collected from your hotel in Hanoi between 08:00 and 08:30 for the drive to Hong Gai Tourist Wharf where you can check wait in the Oriental Sails JSC’s private waiting hall. You will board the Oriental Sails between 12:00 to 12:30. As your cruise starts out into the karst punctuated bay, you can enjoy a delicious lunch on board. During the afternoon, you can choose from the following two options:

Option 1: You can take a trip in a traditional bamboo rowing boat to visit the floating village of Vung Vieng. Here, you can meet the people and learn about life living and fishing in the bay. Although the life of a fisherman can be hard, they live in a beautiful setting at the foot of the mountains, in an idyllic lagoon.

Option 2: You can enjoy kayaking or swimming in the clear blue waters off Ban Chan Beach or enjoy relaxing on the sandy cove, sheltered by the craggy, jungle-clad cliffs.
Between 16:30 and 17:30, you will return to Oriental Sails, where you can freshen up and prepare for the second evening onboard. As the sunset transforms the sky, you can enjoy the happy which runs from 17:30 to 19:00 or take part in the cooking class with the onboard chef. Dinner will be served at 19:00 with the rest of the night free to enjoy at your leisure.
